Chapter 5 - page 171

Issue

Page 171 shows the following:

dotnet-ef migrations add CreatingPizzaDb

When doing so, the following was the result:

PM> dotnet ef migrations add CreatingPizzaDb
Build started...
Build succeeded.
Your startup project 'PizzaPlace.Server' doesn't reference Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design. This package is required for the Entity Framework Core Tools to work. Ensure your startup project is correct, install the package, and try again.

Solution

In order to resolve this, I did the following:

Solution Explorer -> Right-click PizzaPlace.Server -> Edit Project File -> Comment out the following line:

<PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>
